A Royal Montana Christmas
Love is in the (mountain) air! A Royal Montana Christmas brings a regal twist to Hallmark’s holiday lineup, whisking viewers from royal halls to the snow-covered charm of Big Sky Country. When Princess Victoria of Zelarnia trades palace protocol for a rustic escape at Montana’s Peaceful Pines Ranch, she discovers that sometimes the best gifts come wrapped in cowboy boots and small-town warmth. Starring Fiona Gubelmann and Warren Christie, and directed by Peter Benson, this royal-meets-ranch romance promises sweeping scenery, festive charm, as we kick off the 2025 Countdown to Christmas Season!
